Second Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Summary (comparing the quarter ended September 30, 2019 vs. September 30, 2018)

Revenue was $10.2 million, a decrease of 25.5% compared to $13.7 million in the prior-year second fiscal quarter, due mainly to the expected decline in the Cinema Equipment business. Overall OTT/streaming revenues were $3.1 million in the quarter, up 35%, with OTT Channel revenues, particularly AVOD, showing the strongest growth rate both for the quarter and year to date.

Total operating expenses were $11.3 million, compared to $14.6 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 22.6%, which was primarily driven by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and lower depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 were $5.0 million compared to $6.5 million in the year ago period, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 23.1%. Amortization of intangible assets was $594,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $1.4 million in the year ago period, a decrease of $800,000, or 57.4%.

The Company reported a net loss of $3.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to a net loss of $3.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. After giving effect to preferred stock dividends of $89,000, the net loss to common stockholders was $3.2 million, or ($0.08) per basic and diluted share, based on a weighted average of 41,439,520 shares outstanding. In comparison, for the second quarter of 2018, after giving effect to preferred stock dividends of $89,000, a net loss to common stockholders was $3.6 million, or ($0.09) per basic and diluted share based on a weighted average of 37,696,256 shares outstanding.

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was $1.4 million, compared to $2.9 million in the year-ago period. The decrease was largely due to the expected reduction in the cinema equipment business.

*All figures based on September 2019 performance data.** YoY comparisons are between September 2018 and September 2019

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company for the periods presented to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income, net, goodwill impairment, litigation related expenses and recoveries, stock-based compensation, expenses, restructuring, transition and acquisitions expenses, net, and certain other items. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation in the tables attached to this release of loss from continuing operations calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company calculated and communicated Adjusted EBITDA in the tables because the Company's management believes it is of importance to investors and lenders by providing additional information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business activities. Management presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net loss as an indicator of operating performance. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an industry-wide financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating the Company's performance and comparing our performance with the performance of our competitors. Management also uses adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, as well as to evaluate the Company's performance because it believes that adjusted EBITDA more accurately reflects the Company's results, as it excludes certain items, such as stock-based compensation charges, that management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure and not a liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating or net loss as an indicator of performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of cash flows, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity.  In addition, adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. The Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same industry. Investors should not view Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to the GAAP operating measure of net income (loss). In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. Management does not intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
